What the fuck are you talking about

The only person who knows why he did this right now is Yermin Mercedes. The finger pointing and narrative chasing is infuriating.

Tony acted like an asshole in the press conference. Were probably not having this conversation if Tony didn’t give Mercedes every chance to be good I believe both of this things to be true.

We are all acknowledging that we're not sure exactly what he means. There are a thousand things he could have said in english that we'd be doing the same thing.

Looks like he removed everything Sox related. Maybe he's about to get traded, or maybe the reports of his attitude are correct. Perhaps both. But apparently there are people on the internets saying retiro translates to something closer to "vacation" than "quit"

I'll offer a Moncada hot take, screw it. He strikes me as a really odd guy. Like he's so outwardly flashly but seems inwardly super reserved. What does this have to do with his ability? Nothing, he just strikes me as weird.

Sox-Brewers would be such an awesome world series. Fuck

It’s so hard not to love this dude

Played two innings after that though

Bryant yanked

Well at least this is the last time we have to see Nelson Cruz in the central

Remember when NBC ran with the "Best Rotation ever??"/5 Aces thing when the Cubs had Darvish, Hendriks, Quintana etc..? Kinda funny that a team we all came into the season thinking there probably isn't enough pitching, may very well be the best rotation in the last twenty years.

There was a point where an AL central team played in the worlds series for like 5 out of 6 years in the 10s

Just while we're on it, should the sox acquire Gallo, throw him in the Grandal category where he'll be very good but a ton of people will hate him because of the optics

Angels are still kind hanging around though, and if they think they get Trout back soon I don't see him getting traded

Some out there solves both problems

Eeeeeeeyup

Okay, I found something worse than plugging Goodwin for Robert or Eaton for Acuna.

So uh are they not going to be traveling anymore?

ESPN, and to a larger degree most media, sucks so bad because all these blowhards, Stephen A., Skip Bayless, Mad Dog Russo, is what draws all the eyeballs because everyone is constantly looking to be pissed off at someone. So they get all the money, and the talented producers and writers get fired. The Stephen A.- Jeff Passan thing was such transparent kayfabe bullshit I can't believe anyone engages with it regardless of their opinion.

Idk at the end of the day we ended up with a first place team who looks to be in first place for a good long while. Hard to complain either way.

In retrospect, they really should have been targeting Harper more.

People always want the the Tatis, and never consider the possibility of Delmon Young

Yeah, that's stupid. And for record Jose Ramirez has two seaons better than 5 WAR and that's it.

Kopech at this stage of his career has pitched like 47 innings. Moncada has been a top 4 or 5 player at his position for multiple years now.
